Having just moved over to the Island, I can't believe the amount of KLR's and DR's that I see roaring around. It seems to be the preferred choice around here. They're kind of snobby - they don't wave to anyone but their own kind....

Dunno about that Jack, I wave to everyone; even a dude on a scooter the other day, why not eh?

As for the KLR love, maybe its because they're cheap? Maybe its because they're simple, easy to work on? Maybe it's because of their range, load, durability or reliability? Maybe its due to the array of farkles? Honestly, not too sure why?

Resurrecting an old thread here, but I didn't get the feeling that there was a clear answer. I would also like to ride up to Leechtown some time in the next month or two with my sidecar, but I'd hate to spend an afternoon riding down dead-ends and gated roads.

Has anyone made it up to Leechtown lately? What route did you take? What are the road conditions and is there room enough for a sidecar to make it up?

And if there is absolutely no way to do it, can anyone recommend an alternative afternoon ride somewhere remote/historical/unique?
